Jerry started all 16 games over the last two seasons for the Dolphins. Jerry had been with Miami after they took him in the third round of the 2010 draft.

He’s played in 57 games over his career, starting 45 of them.

Although Jerry is versatile and has shown durability over the course of his career, he is not necessarily an upgrade over some of the incumbent guards on the Giants’ roster. Jordan Raanan of the Star-Ledger tweeted this just a few minutes ago….

From yesterday –>> MT @OmarKelly Could probably close my eyes and find #Dolphins starting RG better than Jerry picking names out of a hat

And let us not for get that Jerry was in the thick of the Richie Incognito-Jonathan Martin bullying case. From the the official “Ted Wells Report”submitted to the league last month:

Said Mr. Wells: “The Report concludes that three starters on the Dolphins offensive line, Richie Incognito, John Jerry and Mike Pouncey, engaged in a pattern of harassment directed at not only Jonathan Martin, but also another young Dolphins offensive lineman and an assistant trainer. The Report finds that the assistant trainer repeatedly was the object of racial slurs and other racially derogatory language; that the other offensive lineman was subjected to homophobic name-calling and improper physical touching; and that Martin was taunted on a persistent basis with sexually explicit remarks about his sister and his mother and at times ridiculed with racial insults and other offensive comments.”

I’m not sure why the Giants are bringing Jerry aboard, but knowing them, I’m certain they vetted him extensively before signing him. Jerry will learn immediately that East Rutherford is not Davie, FL. The Giants do not tolerate the type of behavior he engaged in with the Dolphins.

From Paul Schwartz of the NY Post:

Jerry Reese on OL John Jerry: "We did our homework on John … We were satisfied with the answers we got about John as a player and person."

Is he a projected starter or just a veteran being brought in in case Chris Snee breaks down again? Will he be a swing G/T, something the Giants need since Will Beatty is has not fully rehabbed from his broken leg? Could be both.

Probably. Being stigmatized as a result of the Miami affair, Jerry went unsigned for the first phase of free agency. The Giants look as if they swept in and grabbed him on the cheap. Another under-the-radar move by the Giants this offseason.

He will be lumped in with the rest of crowd trying to earn a roster spot this summer. It’s all about competition and Jerry should at least provide that.

Great signing!!!! Only 27. 350 lbs. Can play both Tackle and Guard. Provides depth incase Snee or Beatty struggle. For those hating on the guy about the stupid scandal.... Get a life. Who cares?!? LoL. I am sure Mr. Jerry is a gentleman and a scholar. He can come to my Thanksgiving dinner any time!!! :)

gotta think that scandal was a wake-up call to the Dolphins players and most in the NFL. If Reese thinks they can do something with this kid I'm ready to see it. Everybody deserves 2nd chances, he wasn't the ring leader just a sheep following the wolves. Let's see him emulate some real pros and maybe it's worth taking a chance on him?

@Lord Harry Latts Really? "The worst human being in the league"? You realize there's wife beaters, killers and rapists in the league and you pick John Jerry as the worst? Ben Rapelisberger is way worse than Jerry
